Award-Winning SAT Writing and Language Tutors in Framingham, MA

...I worked as a writing tutor both at Connecticut College and at the US Coast Guard Academy. As a writing tutor, I assisted students with all stages from the writing process, from brainstorming and drafting, to research strategies and proper citation techniques. By working for two very different universities, I have experience working with a variety of students in multiple subjects, ranging from English and History papers at Connecticut College to Nautical and Marine Science...

...I also aim to help students better themselves as people, to think about the world differently, so that, regardless of what they might face in their future, they will be in a position to succeed. At Syracuse University, I majored in philosophy and English and graduated summa cum laude. I was president of an organization that taught weekly spoken word poetry workshops, which improved students writing and public speaking abilities, and I also tutored ESL...

...to teach skills for time management, task management, project planning, and associated valuable techniques such as note taking methods and test anxiety management. As a trained scientist who is also a writer, I have a special interest in integrating English comprehension and expression skills into the mastery of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) studies. I make a special effort to help each of my students acquire a thorough understanding of the terminology specific to...

...about a test that is nerve-racking for many. I believe in every student's capabilities to learn and improve. With my patience and motivating nature, I help students build confidence in their inherent abilities. In the last seven years, I have had a range of tutoring experience from being a Biochemistry Teacher's Assistant to teaching ESL classes online. I am a graduate of Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Engineering. Since graduation, I...

...5th grade English language learners on reading and phonics skills. This year I am working as a Spanish teacher and math and English tutor at Match Charter Public High School. I am excited to tutor a wide range of subjects, including SAT/ACT test prep, Writing/Reading, ESL, math (through Algebra I), and Spanish. When tutoring, I like to push my students to solve problems on their own with guidance from me only when necessary. I also...

...I decided to become a tutor because my math tutor (from 8th-12th grades) took me from hating math to enjoying and succeeding in it. I want to help others make that same transition--a bad teacher or tough class can crush a student's innate curiosity, but a good tutor can restore it. I currently tutor students in the social and biological sciences (elementary school through college level), reading and writing, and in standardized test preparation. I...

...helping students gain admissions to their dream prep schools, colleges, and professional schools through test, subject, and admissions/lifestyle coaching. I am currently studying clinical medicine and enjoy triathlon training. I tailor lessons to my students' experience and learning style. For a test prep student, I teach not only the underlying material, but how to /think/ about the exam and different question types. We'll maximize your score this way. I believe in my students' potential.... I tailor my lessons to the student. Some do well in a Q and A format; others like in-depth explanations using visual and mnemonic aids. Some students like a structured style; others learn best in a conversational approach linking what the student needs to learn to what he/she already knows. Often I use a mix of styles depending on the material and the student's level of mastery. I use quiz questions for review, teaching, and practice. I break down and solve questions with the student, so he/she understands what to do each step of the way. I use more complex questions to review skills for a student who is familiar with the topic. For a test prep student, I teach not only the underlying material, but also how to think about the exam and the different question types.

...alone, I've worked with over 30 students, spending several hours each day to help them stay up to speed on their schoolwork. I specialize in many areas of math as well as computer science, biology and physics. When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject, as opposed to merely teaching...

...who does their work for them, so I go out of my way to make sure each student understands that grasping the concepts is much more important than solving the individual problems. Besides working with my siblings, I also have experience teaching swim lessons, volunteering in classrooms, and tutoring High School students. My favorite subjects to teach are Math and Computer Science. Outside of academia I am interested in basketball and music production.
